With heavy hearts we say goodbye to another SEGSP Alumni.  Dexter came to SEGSP in 2009 and was fostered by our wonderful volunteer Susanne.  His picture was in the upper right rotation of photos on the original SEGSP website for a long time…he was chewing on a stick, which was probably a foreshadowing of his life. 
From his Dad Brian: “Dexter went through a couple surgeries to remove things that he ate. His last surgery was in Sept. He then developed pancreatitis and spent 9 days in the hospital and was never 100%. Recently, his eating became sporadic and he started to get very sick and two days later he was gone (the Vet believes stomach cancer).  We sure loved that dog.”
Our hearts go out to Brian and Liane. He will be missed by many including his “girl” Lacy and some of his other chicks.   Farewell Dexter – run free sweet boy!

Rest in Peace sweet Buckley.  Buckley entered SEGSP in 2012 from a shelter in Georgia and was fostered by our late Founder Beth Cochran.  He was picked up as a stray so we don’t know what his previous life was like but we know during the rest of his life he was loved very much by his family.  Sadly, he lost his 15 month battle with squamous cell carcinoma. Despite chemo and radiation at UGA and Blue Pearl in Sandy Springs and two dedicated Oncologists and 3 Vets, he passed away two weeks ago.   Our hearts go out to the Beilfuss family.  Run pain-free sweet Buckley…

Our sweet old 2018 Alumnus Doc has passed away at age 11+ after a battle with pancreatitis.  He entered rescue from a GA Animal Control in February 2018 and recovered from e-coli.  We don’t know how the first 11+ years of his life was like, but his first foster Mom Suzanne called him  "Doctor" to boost his confidence.  He was adopted by his next foster Mom Denise who tragically was killed at the end of 2018.  He finally arrived at his new forever home in FL with Kathy and Jlaw in late January.  Doc had been through a LOT of challenges while in rescue but as our FL State Coordinator Dorothy said “Kathy, your old guys must think they've gone to heaven, living there!”  Yes, he lived the last months of his life in heaven on earth. Thank you Kathy and Jlaw for giving this boy the love he deserved.  He definitely left this world happy and loved.  Run free sweet Doc…
